As promised: Part Two of the Das Oath Discography. The band that I, Marcel Alexander Wiebenga, was playing drums for from 2000 to 2007. Part One can be found right here.
What we have here is the band's first full length album that came out in 2004 on Dim Mak Records. I feel that this is the best thing we've recorded.
The record features the song Awesome Rape, which was the closest thing we had to a hit. Awesome Rape eventually ended up on the Tony Hawk Underground II soundtrack. Selling out to a skateboarding game moving 3 million plus units proved very lucrative making every band member 150 dollars... yeyeah!
The writing process for this record was quite intense. Since band members came from two sides of the Atlantic, we were forced to work super fast, practicing, writing and touring Holland, Belgium, Germany and England in 7 weeks. We were playing shows on weekends, practicing two times a day during the rest of the week and finally recording for one week straight in the end.
Dim Mak records, is the super duper popular label ran by the super duper popular Steve Aoki. Who is mainly known for being a horrible DJ these days. I however like to refer to him as: "the biggest douche I've ever encountered". Up to this date he screwed the band on every form of royalties.
Seriously Steve, if you read this, and sooner or later you will when you google your own name twice a day you , you're a prick (with a really hot sister)!
Having said that. Download the record here. Enjoy and let me know what you think.

This is my second favorite hardcore album of the past decade. Beat out only by the superbly flawless 'Harmed and Dangerous' by Cut The Shit.
ReplyDeleteStill it's a very very very close 2nd place. And also, yeah Aoki is a prick, I set up his old HC band with a show before he was an uber rich trend hopping jet setter, he was still a fucking twat back then.
